Talk:Crack Team

Ultimate Battle Set - Legend of Dramon Set & Neo Metal Empire Set Booklets

If someone has access to/scans from these booklets, is there an actual section on the Crack Team itself? --Ainz ^{( talk | contribs )} 07:25, 5 August 2017 (CDT)

• Chimairamon is thought to either have been built as a prototype for Mugendramon or as a weapon against it.
• Andromon's profile states its technology was appropriated for MetalGreymon and Megadramon, which could possibly imply it was done by the same people, but the word used (流用) has connotations of theft, so the implication is that the tech was instead plagiarized by the Crack Team. This follows with HiAndromon and Boltmon.
• Gigadramon's profile talks about how it was developed alongside/simultaneously with Megadramon, so I think that one's about as clear as any of the Vulcanusmon references.
• Going on from the Andromon profile, the MetalGreymon profiles use language that implies that they are doing the modifications to themselves (ex. it was the MetalGreymon who were able to extend their lifespan)

While Mugendramon's profile takes kind of the opposite tack as Andromon's, implying that the people who developed it also developed both Andromon and MetalGreymon even though those species individual profiles imply the opposite, (1) Mugendramon's profile itself does not assign it to the Crack Team, and its assignment there was instead done many years after these profiles were put out, and (2) Mugendramon's profile talks about how "someone" (implied to be someone stealing Mugendramon and corrupting it) is responsibile for turning its DigiCore evil. So that, alongside Chimairamon's profile and how Andromon's profile talks about "appropriation", paint a very different picture that makes a lot more sense for a black-hat hacker "crack" group -- normal scientists developed the other Cyborg Digimon not explicitly stated to be part of the Crack Team, and the Crack Team stole their work for their own Megadramon/Gigadramon pair, and corrupted Mugendramon. It's still bizarre that the explicitly purifying Aegisdramon is assigned to the explicitly malicious Crack Team, but whatevs.

So, in summary, Chimairamon should be rephrased as "possibly or possibly not", Gigadramon should go ahead and be listed as a member, and the others should definitely be removed because the lore actually points in the direction of the Crack Team stealing Mugendramon, rather than developing him themselves.KrytenKoro06 (talk) 09:54, 25 August 2020 (CDT)
